Comment (by dmccan):

 If the stats availability was being misused or was a security issue, and
 that was pulling the team away from other day to day required work, then
 disabling them until there is a fix seems reasonable.

 On the general issue of stat availability, as a community member I was
 somewhat put off by the presence of stat aggregators that people need to
 pay for to access.  I get it that the creators of those businesses were
 clever and being good entrepreneurs, but I think that knowledge should be
 available to everyone.  What about the developers of free plugins that
 cannot afford to pay for the secret knowledge? So I support having more
 stats available to everyone.
